Not Your Gwen Stacy Peter Parker x Reader

1

It's been almost two months since The Amazing Spider-Man saved your life. The specifics of what happened that day were just a blur to you. You only remember almost falling to your death and then being saved by Red and Blue. But that wasn't the only thing that stood out to you the most it was the fact that after he saved you he knew exactly where to take you and last you checked spiders weren't telepathic.

"Y/n!" The sound of your name made you jump the sound of buzzing around the office and phones ringing came back to you. "You've been staring at the copying machine for a while now are you okay?"

You turned around "Y-Yeah I'm fine Ned." You remembered what you were doing and grabbed the papers you were copying "Just had a rough week is all."

Ned nodded "Right..how about you take a break from work? Umm...grab lunch with me maybe next Friday?" He walked up next to you and propped himself up on the copying machine his blue eyes looking anywhere but at yours. You gave him the most polite smile you could muster up "Sure I wouldn't mind."

Ned's eyes lit up as he stood up straight again "Cool..Well um I better get back to work or Jameson is gonna be on my ass later." he said pushing his blond hair out of his eyes.  He pushed his hands into his pockets and walked out of the break room.

"Right.." you simply replied. You grabbed the rest of the papers from the machine and left the room as well. You placed the papers that were on your arms onto the best with a loud thud "Here are those papers you asked for sir."

"Good what took you so long?" Jameson asked pulling the cigar from his mouth and picking up one of the papers from the stack.

"There was a problem-" he cut you off

"With you or the machine?"

You rolled your eyes and huffed "The machine sir." you said through you're gritted teeth

He just looked up at you as if he didn't believe you and sat back in his chair and put the cigar back in his mouth. "Parker get over here." he straightened out the paper in his hands and propped his get on his desk.

A guy walked over he made eye contact with you and quickly looked away and focused his attention back on Jameson. There was something about him he looked like he'd been working here for months but why haven't you noticed before? It's like he's been invisible to you until now.

"L/n why are you still standing here? Go get me a coffee." Jameson shooed you away your only response was to roll your eyes but do as he asked anyway

That Parker guy couldn't help but run across your mind of course. The fact that you hadn't realized he worked at the Daily Bugle along with you bothered you and for some reason, you knew it wasn't because you knew he was probably a quiet guy who likes to keep attention off of him.

Later that evening you grabbed your bag from your seat at your desk and headed towards the elevator. You looked up and saw whose name you later learned was Peter stepping inside. Earlier you tried talking to him but it seemed as though he was ignoring you. You thought now was the perfect time.

You shuffled your feet faster trying to catch the elevator before it closed "Hey! Wait up!" you called Peter noticed you and pressed the button in the elevator faster trying to get it close. But lucky for you, you got through in time.

It was silent the only sound coming from the awkward elevator music. You cleared your throat and your eyes darted over to him and then down at his skateboard.

"Umm..cool skateboard."

"Thanks."

"So..how long have you been working at the Daily Bugle?" You asked hoping to finally get an answer to your buying question.

Peter Swallowed hard "Almost two years now."

Your jaw almost dropped he had been working here just as long as you have and you've never noticed him.

"How come I've never noticed you before?" You shifted your weight onto one foot in anticipation.

Peter just looked at you and shrugged but it looked like he was holding something back like he wanted to tell you something. You opened your mouth to speak but the elevator dinged and the doors slid open. You didn't even have time to say goodbye because once the doors opened he took off. You sighed in defeat and stepped out of the elevator as well making your way home to your tiny apartment. 

Once inside you dropped your bag onto the floor next to the door. After changing your clothes and taking a shower you brewed yourself a cup of coffee and turned on your futile Roomba. You plopped on your couch almost immediately regretting your decision because you almost spilled your hot coffee. You picked up your book opening or it to where you last left off and began reading Occasionally taking small sips of your coffee.

You didn't know how long you've been reading for. You seemed to lose track of time but it didn't matter though because a knock on your door pulled you away from your book.

You answered the door your eyes went wide but a bit of confusion washed over you. "Peter?" you asked

"Oh..hey." he clearly wasn't expecting you to be on the other side of the door either if he did he probably wouldn't come knocking

"What are you doing here?" you scratched your head genuinely confused.

He tapped his feet against the floor and looked up at you "Umm...I live under you and I'm trying to study but your Roomba is driving me insane." he stated

You raised your eyebrow "My Roomba?"

"Yeah, the thing that's ramming into your furniture over there." he pointed behind you you turned around, and sure enough your Roomba was smashing into your coffee table you had completely forgotten about it.

You turned back around and mouth 'oh' "Yeah it's pretty loud I can hear it through the floor."

You chuckled "Sorry about that...I didn't realize I still had it on."

"Uh it's fine just...try to keep it down." he gave you an awkward smile that followed a bit of awkward silence which to his relief you broke.

"How long have you been staying in this building?" Your eyebrow knitted together realizing he just said he lived under you.

"For about a year and a half."

First, you didn't notice he worked with you for two years now you haven't noticed he'd been living under you for a year and a half. It's like you disappeared because some alien Titan snapped his fingers or something and even if that was the case you'd still should've known
